When Shibaura Electronics was approached by YAGEO, they deferred, and then got another bidder in. Now Minebea has announced a higher price. I bet YAGEO comes back with an overbid.

Yageo came out with a conciliatory press release yesterday. Today, Shibaura Electronics' CEO is out saying they could consider a competing TOB on price merits (links to both are in the Discussion Points below). This will not discourage Yageo from overbidding Minebea, but the stock is already trading 5% through, so the market is expecting an overbid from Yageo and then a further overbid by Minebea.
